    RUSSIA: ALLEGED GEORGIAN SPY SENTENCED TO NINE YEARS IN JAIL

    A court in Russia's southern city of Rostov-on-Don has found an ethnic
    Georgian serviceman guilty of spying for Tbilisi.

    Private Jemal Nakaidze was sentenced to nine years in jail for
    supplying intelligence to Georgia security services, the Vesti news
    service reported on October 16. Prosecutors claimed that Nakaidze
    was recruited in February 2008 in exchange for an unnamed financial
    remuneration and an apartment in the Georgian seaside resort of Batumi,
    the Kavkazsky Uzel news service reported.

    One day earlier, authorities in Russian-backed Abkhazia stepped up
    efforts to expose Georgian spies allegedly operating in breakaway
    Abkhazia, which is still home to a significant number of ethnic
    Georgians. In September, Abkhazia's Supreme Court sentenced Diana
    Shedania, a 40-year old woman from the Abkhaz capital, Sukhumi,
    to 19 years in prison for alleged espionage for Georgia.

    Tbilisi, in turn, has arrested a number of people since the 2008
    Georgia-Russia war on charges of cooperating with the Russian security
    services.
